Experience - Stibbe advised HKS Metals on the acquisition of Van Dalen Recycling.
HKS Metals is the largest metal recycling company in the Netherlands and part of TSR/Remondis. By combining the two companies, the total company consists of 13 branches, including one in Belgium and one in England.

Inside Stibbe - On 24 April 2018, Paul Quist obtained his PhD at the Radboud University Nijmegen with a doctoral thesis on 'Conversion and Shares'. His thesis extensively describes three forms of conversion: conversion of shares into shares of another type (class) or indication, conversion of reserves into shares and conversion of debt into shares (debt/equity swaps), which has been published in a book by Kluwer.

Short Reads - On 25 April 2018 the European Commission proposed a new directive, amending the EU Directive 2017/1132 on company law. The proposed rules should support companies in moving from one EU country to another, i.e. cross-border mergers, divisions or conversions. However, the proposed rules for cross-border divisions and conversions will also require companies to get prior consent from a competent national authority before moving. Who will act as such authority is not clear yet.
